KATE AND CHRISTOPHER ARE GOING TO JAPAN!!!! Wow. We have been waiting so long to say that. A Japan retreat has been a bucket list item for both of us and we finally found a dream property nestled into the Japanese Alps with a yoga shala on property AND a Michelin star chef!
Our Japanese chalet is located just outside of Nagano. It's about a 90-minute Shinkansen ride from Tokyo. The Shinkansen is the bullet train and it so incredibly easy and beautiful...and if you book your tickets correctly, you will see Mt. Fuji!
Fall is a stunning season in Japan. Think walks to Temples, forest bathing, kayaking, hikes and more!
A huge bonus of this property is that not only do they have a yoga shala, but they have ALLLLL the props as well. So leave your mat and blocks at home! You will need the space for shopping, trust me.
All the food is prepared with locally sourced and in season foods, all prepared by a Michelin star chef.
Days will bookended with our yoga and meditation practices and the days are free for you to roam and wander. The area is known for every outdoor activity under the sun. It is also a place that produces incredible silks, lacquer wear, indigo and more.
We will have two vans on site for us to use to scoot but please note you must have an international driver license to operate.
The property is full service and any additional side trips can be planned with assistance from the property owners themselves.
